1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: The health of the United Kingdom workforce is key; approximately 186 million days are lost to sickness each year. Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain major global health challenges. The aim of this retrospective service evaluation was to assess the impact of a digitally enabled, time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention (Roczen Program, Reset Health Ltd) on weight and other health-related outcomes. Methods: This service evaluation was conducted in people living with overweight/obesity, with 89% referred from public sector employers. Participants were placed on a TRE, low-carbohydrate, moderate protein plan delivered by clinicians and mentors with regular follow up, dietary guidance, goal setting, feedback, and social support. Results: A total of 660 members enrolled and retention was 41% at 12 months. The majority were female (73.2%), 58.9% were of White ethnicity, with a mean (SD) age of 47.5 years (10.1), and a body mass index of 35.0 kg/m Conclusion: Our service evaluation showed that the Roczen program led to clinically meaningful improvements in body weight, health-related outcomes and eating behaviors that were sustained at 12-month.
